What is the stack that you used for building this app? Pretty slick!

What you're communicating is your exuberance, not the fact that your mom makes the best lasagna in the world.
I clearly suck at copy text. I blame my ESL
Ah I'm saying I think your exaggeration is fine. It communicates how much excitement you have for your product. If you say your mom makes the best food in the world, nobody is confused about what you're saying. You are communicating your passion.

It would be great if there was a good way to find existing projects that achieve what we seek. Usually, the biggest names are visible, and it's hard to find alternatives that achieve specific ideas.
I suspect we need some sort of search engine that helps push us towards the alternate stuff. Currently google tends to highlight the big sites/authoritative sources etc, and not the smaller blogs/forums/etc as much. We basically need some filter against the winners that take all. Block off the top 10-20% sites and only show the long tail.
Oddly enough, I find page 2 (and beyond) of Google results to be incredibly different than page 1 in the way that you describe. When shopping, for example, (in normal search, not the Shopping tab) I'll often have heard of every store on page 1 and almost no stores on page 2+. Using default of 10 results per page.

Yes, please do! My job involves a lot of math, so it a dealbreaker for me when notetaking software doesn't have math support. These days it's very easy to include! The easiest way is to use KaTeX [1] to render math between dollar sign tags for inline math like this $x+y=5$ and for display math like this: $$ \int_a^b f(x) dx $$ Many markdown parsers (like markdown-it) have plugins for math support. In the future, I wo…
I've had a bunch of problems with KaTeX, I'd recommend mathjax instead.
What are the problems you've had? I'm about to switch to KaTeX for speed which will take quite a bit of work and this got me spooked.

#135Excellent effort on the product! I had the similar idea for a long time as well, and I use Evernote to do all my blogging, then built a custom process to pull content from Evernote and create a static website using Jekyll. And I wouldn't use another platform just for blogging, the whole reason for me using Evernote is that all my notes are inside of Evernote and it's a perfect single place of truth for everything.

Makes sense!

#139listed.to has done a similar thing for awhile leveraging Standard Notes[1] to give you a note taking and pseudo cms. I kind of hate that they bury it, SN is lovely and very simple to use.

#140Less than a month ago I decided to build an app for myself to solve a very specific problem: “I want to be able to take notes on my phone, share some of them online, and publish a few on my personal blog — oh, an I also want an API!” I built this is because no tool out there satisfied my needs: - Notion had no native app so it's very slow to use on mobile. Plus is too general. - Medium is a disaster for readers, they…
Hey, I'm really interested in trying your app. However I am unable to sign in via iPhone SE. The small screen means I that cannot tap to sign in with email address - I prefer this over Apple/Google login.
Otherwise so it looks great, I look forward to giving it a go.
